NOTES

Another start for Sharif Othman behind the plate. He’s got just one hit on the season, but Espada has been going with him over Behar lately. Othman’s now started four of the last six games.

Yefri Perez and Pedro Mendoza still at the top. Those two have been driving the Jammers offense lately. Not too much of a surprise there.

Juancito Martinez, top 20 in the league in batting average, and on-base percentage and second in the league in steals, is still hitting 9th. 17th time he’s done that this season.

Juengel back in the lineup. He had sat three of the last four games.

Cameron Flynn gets the start in right, moving Solorzano over to left. No Kentrell Dewitt, who is hitting .185.

VERMONT NOTES

Chris Bostick is a 44th round draft pick out of Aquinas Institute in Rochester, N.Y. The 19-year-old middle infielder is off to a nice start for Vermont, hitting .276 with two homers. He’s also third in the league in steals with eight.

John Wooten is fifth in the league in extra-base hits and slugging.

TRANSACTION NEWS

Infielder Yeison Hernandez was sent back down from Greensboro. He was hitting .211 (4-for-19) in five games for the Grasshoppers.

Outfielder Cody Keefer was signed by Miami two days ago. He was assigned to Jamestown yesterday and placed on the disabled list today. It’s a right ankle sprain for Keefer.

Jose Rodriguez was assigned to Jamestown from Greensboro on July 6. He has yet to pitch for the Jammers. Might make his debut tonight.
